Who needs fencing in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is huge and sparsely populated, so fencing here is mostly about long distances. Sheep and goat farms in the Karoo and Namaqualand need many kilometres of stock fencing and jackal-proof mesh, and game farms use high game fences. Iron ore, manganese and diamond mines, and solar and wind farms, specify palisade or clear view perimeters. In Kimberley and Upington, homes and schools buy palisade and diamond mesh. Extreme heat, wind, dust and stony ground favour galvanised steel and well-anchored posts.

Typical pool fencing requests in the area come from:
- Farms: farmers fence homestead pools and farm dams near the house
- Mining: mines fence water storage ponds and recreation pools
- Utilities: utilities fence reservoirs and treatment ponds
- Game reserves: lodges fence guest pools to keep children safe and animals out
- Homes: homeowners fence pools so young children and pets cannot reach the water
- Schools: schools fence swimming pools so learners can only enter with staff
